Cyber Defense Exercise (CDX) hosted by Lockheed Martin to simulate real-life hacking scenarios that affect government or private networks. Students from West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy will tackle the US National Security Agency in a friendly competition. The NSA will take on the role of an attacker and try to breach the targeted networks in an attempt to steal data, cripple their capabilities, and cause service degradations. Security expert Bruce Schneier believes the exercise is a great opportunity for students to learn and for security companies to exchange knowledge with aspiring cyber-security experts.”]
